Characteristics of a Blessed Walk

Christ often used parables to illustrate truth. From the common, physical activity of walking, here are three critical components of our spiritual walk before God. They are characteristics that assure a believer of an abundance of happiness, that bring great blessing. So what does it mean to walk in God's ways?

From Psalm 128, you will find the Characteristics of a Blessed Walk.

Requirements for Revival, part 2

One of the reasons we need to have revival is summed up by General William Booth, the founder of The Salvation Army: "Look well to the fire of your soul, for it is the tendency of fire to go out." Someone else once remarked: "Painted fire never warmed anyone."

We must do what is necessary to fan the fires of devotion to God in our hearts; we must constantly supply the fuel that is needed. We must avoid those things that would quench that flame or threaten to steal away our exclusive love for Christ.

When one understands the historical context of this very famous verse in 2 Chronicles 7, the promise of God's intervention into the lives of His people becomes a powerful reminder of the truthfulness of His claims. In this second of a two part series on "Requirements for Revival," our pastor expounds upon the three remaining requirements God has set as conditions for His blessing and then the promise of God's blessing that would surely follow.

May we indeed know the blessing of Heaven sent Revival!

Achan: Barrier to Gods Blessing, Part 2

This message is the continuation of the earlier Sunday morning message that reveals the final two of the four powerful and sobering truths from Joshua 7 that must be accepted and acted upon if we are to avoid becoming a modern day Achan--The Barrier to God's Blessing.

Achan: Barrier to Gods Blessing, Part 1

One of the striking lessons in Joshua 7 is this truth: a single individual can hinder the blessing of God and paralzye the work of the church of Christ! It is a sobering truth that every Christian must admit. If Rahab, the Canaanite harlot who was the object of divine mercy, is an account of God's grace in the midst of certain, coming judgment, then Achan's life is a vivid reminder of God's holiness on which no one can presume--not even those in the covenant community. The historical account of Achan's sin at Jericho and Israel's defeat at Ai is a solemn warning to Christians in the local church that sin carries serious consequences.

This message is part 1 of 2 that reveals two of the four powerful and sobering truths from Joshua 7 that must be accepted and acted upon if we are to avoid becoming a modern day Achan--The Barrier to God's Blessing.
